I now followed the article to get packages with debugging symbols and
then did the following on a virtual terminal:

$ export DISPLAY=":0.0"
(gdb) gdb metacity
(gdb) set pagination 0
(gdb) set logging on
(gdb) run --replace

[Switch to X, telling Claws-Mail to get mail/news]

# ifdown eth0

[Switch to X, clicking on the "x" button & fast switch to VT, then waiting a bit]

$ ps -A | grep metacity-dialog

=> metacity-dialog is active

(gdb) CTRL+C
(gdb) bt
(gdb) bt full
(gdb) quit

# /etc/init.d/gdm restart

The file gdb.txt created by gdb is attached.

I hope I did everything as expected,

Greetings,

Claudius
